[in Rose's dream, about the wedding] You can't disappoint your guests.
The guests? But I have to think about what's best for me!
That's only in real life, Rose. In a dream, you do what's best for the guests.

[in Rose's dream, about the wedding] You can't disappoint your guests.
The guests? But I have to think about what's best for me!
That's only in real life, Rose. In a dream, you do what's best for the guests.
My son married a welder. Too bad she didn't weld his zipper shut; they got ten kids they can't afford.
He analyzed my dream.
What dream?
Oh, that recurring dream I have where I'm running naked through a train that keeps going through tunnel after tunnel while a sweaty bodybuilder chases me. He said he thinks it's sexual.
He thinks ? For God's sake, Blanche, you smoke a cigarette after that dream.
Not all my dreams are sexual! I also dream about food. Of course, I'm usually naked while I'm eatin' the food. I guess all my dreams are sexual. Lucky me!
[in Rose's dream]
Jeane, could you tell me what the future holds?
Sure. In January, Brooke Shields and Lady Di will star together in a Broadway musical comedy. Senator Edward Kennedy will once again-
[interrupting] No no no, I mean what the future holds for me and Jonathan.
Rose, I'm not getting a clear picture on that. However, I do know that Jackie O. will tie the knot again-
[cutting in] Oh, uh, thank you very much Ms. Dixon, [shows her out of Rose's room with Blanche] enjoy the wedding.
[just as Sophia is entering the room] So Rose, you're seeing a psychiatrist.
It's about time! The woman gives names to her gingerbread men!
Ma, have a wonderful trip and call me the minute you get there. And please, Ma, try not to argue with Phil's wife.
We get along okay. Phil's wife has her good points. She's sweet, she's reliable, and when her father gets out of prison, she'll be a wealthy woman!
Dorothy, get the door. [walks towards Rose and Dr. Newman] Shrimp? [runs towards the kitchen]
She's a little uptight. I'm gonna have fun with her tonight.
Why don't we start dinner.
Good, what are we having.
[freezes for a couple of seconds] Short ribs.
[Sophia comes home early, and sees Dr. Newman, a little person. She just stares for a moment.]
[Nervously] Uh, Ma, this is Dr. Johnathan Newman.
Hello. I hope that this doesn't sound rude... [Blanche and Dorothy are holding each other, looking like they are waiting for a disaster.] ...but I just came from a long trip, and I'm very tired. If you'll excuse me.
Of course. Lovely to have met you.
Likewise. [Begins to walk away] Dorothy, can I see you for a minute? [Dorothy walks over. Sophia speaks in a hushed voice.] That man over there, is he a midget?
Yes
Thank God, I thought I was having another stroke!
